Freelancing
2008-05-20 10:41:00 Over the past few weeks I have been at dozens of interviews and the requests keep coming in. From all these available positions I turned down a few places and therefore my folks and some friends told me 'beggars can't be choosers' - Well, let's just get one thing straight here, I am not a beggar and if I'm not going to enjoy working at a certain company then chances are I won't stick around for long or I will be like the millions of other people out there who 'hate my job' - So i am a chooser. Put me in the right place with the right people and I will be your best employee. With that said, I am now waiting for the 'good' companies to get back to me to let me know if I've got the job or not and in the mean time I still have to make ends meet, so I will be taking on a few more freelance projects this month. Please feel free to get in touch if you require any of the following: - Graphic Design - Logo Design - CI Design - Multi media Presentations - Web Development & Desig...

Am I More Into Freelancing?
2008-02-22 19:59:00 Hi, today I have completed my second freelance work successfully. This is a small work worth 2 hours only and got $50 for it. Really I think freelancing is worth and you can give up your daily tidious 9 to 5 job. I got a good review from them and hence I think I can expect more freelance works from them from now. Even I am thinking hireing another person as a partner for this work because right now I want to bid for more number of tasks and want to earn. But I think you can earn more if you are a webdesigner from this freelance works. Many right now are earning like these. After completing 3 successful freelance works, I will provide some tips regarding how to get more tasks and write attractive PM's to the advertisers.

This was all at the Big Day Out, you can just see the beer-filled punters reeling up to the ride, loading themselves down and as the ride began it's upward accelerated launch thinking to themselves, "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..." But back to the writing thing... "What does it take to write professionally?? a friend asked me the other afternoon, as he sat in his back yard, knocking back a stubby of Coopers Pale ale.
